Draft local plan (Knowle & Dorridge)

As a residents of Solihull in the ward of Dorridge and Hockley Heath we would like to confirm our support for the KDBH Forum's response to the draft local plan. We have recently moved from B91 in Solihull as we consider Solihull has now become part of Birmingham and we wanted to live in a village. If this plan goes ahead in its current form Knowle will no longer be a village and its character and identity lost, in effect it will be part of the Solihull/ Birmingham conurbation. Furthermore the roads around Knowle and Dorridge cannot support the proposed housing density however much they are improved. Knowle High street will be a constant pinch point as there is no obvious by pass route.
